Tweaking help

If i set a flow to auto zip files from numerous directories, how do i add an exception to miss directories that have no files to zip? Currently the flow just ends with errors at the point that it does not find any files.

How do you define the list of the files to be zipped? In a list object? If it is a list, you can loop check existFile() to each element and remove them from list if it doesn't exist. Or the easier logic is to add them to newList() if exists (since you can't remove element when looping). After the loop, the files only the ones those exist.

Code: Select all

ziplist = newList(
"/storage/emulated/0/Automagic/flows.xml",
"/storage/emulated/0/Automagic/widgets.xml",
"/storage/emulated/0/Automagic/variables.bin",
"/storage/emulated/0/Automagic/Resources",
"/storage/emulated/0/Automagic/Not Exist");

checkedlist = newList();
for(i in ziplist)
  if(existsFile(i)) addElement(checkedlist, i);
